TRACK AND STABLE

PAYETTE’S VICTORY BIG NURSERY DIVIDEND G. R,‘TATTERSALL IN FORM CENTREPOISE UNLUCKY By “Trenton” When last season’s champion jockey, W. J. Broughton, rode Payette to victory yesterday in the Nursery Handicap at Avondale, his mount returned a dividend of over half a century on tiie win machine. It is a long time since a horse ridden by Broughton has returned such a remunerative price. Rode the “Double" G. R. Tattersail had a successful meeting at Foxton. He rode three winners in Kaliui, Quadroon and Screen Star, the last two being the winners of the two open races on the programme. Sister (o Valmint Lovaals, winner of the Avondale Stakes, is by Vaals from Lomint and is therefore.a full-sister to that useful handicap performer, Valmint. Very Unlucky Favourite for the Carnarvon Cup at Foxton on Saturday, Centrepoise was very unlucky. He lost his position going down the back stretch, and but for that would undoubtedly have won, as he was running over everything at the finish. Kalika in Work Among the horses in regular work at Hastings is Mr. J. A. Hennah’s five-year-old Constant Sun mare Kalika, who will probably be again brought to Riccarton at Cup time. At Koatanui Stud Seven colts have made their appearance at Mr. G. M. Currie’s Koatanui stud, and all of them are bays. Three are by the Colorado horse Ringmaster, three by the Limond horse Spiral, and one by the Son-in-Law horse Posterity. The Ringmaster colts are from Impetuous (dam of Master Hotspur, Imposture and Elanage), from Drax (dam of Spiral, Drastic, Drama and Drawl), and from Drama (dam of Allspice and Milliment). Spiral’s colts are from Genesta (dam of Royal Abb), from Jewel of Asia (dam of Farmer, Sir John and Coronation), and from Miss Thespian (dam of Chief Ranger, Lacan and Rehearsal) . Posterity’s colt is from the Absurd—Bronze mare Anklet, dam of Pembroke, Garter Knight, Jutland, Linklet, Limulet and Royal Order.

A Tempting Offer Beau Vite should have an excellent chance of winning the A.J.C. Derby. After his win at Canterbury Park Mr. Ralph Stewart received an offer of £6OOO for him. On breeding Beau Vite has excellent credentials for the Derby, being by Beau Pere (by Son-in-Law) from Dominant, by Martian. While High Caste failed in the Chelmsford Stakes, it is too early to condemn him as a Derby hope, and it is likely that he had an off day. A new Derby hope has arisen In Melbourne in Pure Gold, who, after one or two disappointments, has lately made substantial progress. Pure Gold is a brother to Hall Mark- (Heroic— Herowinkie), who won the two Derbies and the Melbourne Cup in 1933. Ajax's Relatives Medmenham, the dam of Ajax, has foaled a filly to The Buzzard. Tire filly is Medmenham’s fourth living foal, and the second filly. Medmenham’s first foal, a filly by Backwood, for whom no name has been registered, came in 1931, four years after her importation to Australia’ by the late E. L. and Mr. C. Baillieu. She missed in 1932, and in 1333 came a colt by Brazen which raced as Humorist. Ajax was foaled in 1934, and Medmenham missed again in 1935. The next year she had a filly, by Marconigram. registered as Beam, and recently purchased from the sale of the late Mr. E. L. Bailleau’s horses in Melbourne by Mr. A. W. Thompson for only 300 guineas, a very reasonable sum considering her youth and relationship to Ajax. The mare had no foal in 1937 or 1938. This season she will more than likely be mated with the Widden sire Brueghel, only son in New South Wales of Pharos, whose son, Pharos 11, is considered by some authorities to be the greatest colt in Europe this year, and who was expected to give the great colt Blue Peter a severe tussle for the St. Leger.
